Gingerbread Playdough Houses Using Snowy Sensory Bin Materials

Posted by Lisa Prins on December 13, 2019

The countdown is on until Winter Break if your kiddo is in pre-k and that means two weeks (or more!) of idle hands, no school, and caretakers needing to come up with ideas to keep these little hands busy and learning!

Our Snow Globe Crate includes an open-ended Snowy Sensory Bin (above) and I thought it would be fun to extend the life of this bin a bit by making Gingerbread Playdough Houses and decorating them with the materials in the sensory bin!

Making playdough is incredibly cheap, easy, and you most likely already have the materials in your pantry to do it! If you get our crates, then you already have those materials too. If not, we have a few left and you can find them here!

I made a quick video of me making the gingerbread play dough so you can watch that or read the directions below.
